Chapter 40

"Please, absolutely do not do this." Song Shuhang immediately stopped him. "Three days ago, Soft Feather had already sent my two teachers to the hospital. One of them is still in the hospital, and the other is the British professor with a cane that Senior met earlier. If you send more teachers to the hospital, everyone will think it's very strange."

"Ah? Soft Feather has already done it? Tsk, that's a problem. If I send another teacher to the hospital, it will seem too abrupt." Medicine Master pinched his chin, looking regretful. "What a pity, such a brilliant plan was already used by someone else."

Song Shuhang continued, "Moreover, this place is not suitable for refining the body-strengthening liquid. My roommates might come back at any time. If they find out that you brought me here to refine some kind of pill, they will definitely send us both to the Dashi Mountain Mental Hospital."

There's no need to doubt the 'goodness' of the three roommates; they would definitely do it.

Medicine Master sighed, "So, mortals are really troublesome. Little friend Shuhang, why don't you break free from the mundane world and join one of the sects in our group? The sects in our group are all very good and are well-known throughout China. For example, the Great Luo Sect, the Horizon Cloud Traveling Temple, the Spirit Butterfly Island, and the Yellow Heaven Sword Sect are all very famous among cultivators."

"I will consider it," Song Shuhang replied. Perhaps one day in the future, he would choose to join a sect, but not now.

According to the cultivators, he still has ties to the mundane world, and his thoughts are not yet clear, making it unsuitable for him to join a sect and focus on cultivating.

"But can you really not spare some time this afternoon? If it really can't be helped, I can create an accident to make the entire college stop classes. This way, it won't raise any suspicions," Medicine Master said calmly, suggesting a heart-stopping idea.

"Senior Medicine Master, please absolutely do not do such a terrifying thing," Song Shuhang said seriously. "I just need to take a leave. I have already prepared the leave application."

"Will taking a leave make you fall behind in your studies?" Medicine Master asked, very concerned.

Compared to the entire college having an accident, which is more serious, my personal study progress?

"Please rest assured, I can catch up on the missed classes by borrowing a classmate's notes. Recently, I have been making a lot of progress in my studies," Song Shuhang assured him.

"That's great. Then let's find a place to refine the body-strengthening liquid!" Medicine Master said.

"Let's look for a rental house outside the school," Song Shuhang suggested. He had already planned to rent a house, and this was a good opportunity to get it done.

"Yes, that makes sense. We do need to rent a place. I might need to stay with you for a few days, and it wouldn't be good without a place to stay," Medicine Master nodded. "Shall we go now?"

Medicine Master was impulsive, just like his behavior in the group.

"Alright, let's go." Song Shuhang said, taking out his wallet and bank card.

While getting his wallet, he saw the pot of Poison Dragon Grass next to his computer.

So, Song Shuhang asked, "Senior Medicine Master, you mentioned in the group that you needed living Poison Dragon Grass. Do you still need it?"

"I bought some from the fellow practitioners in the group, but their quality is only average, not very good. They are not up to the standard I need for my experiments, so I had to make do with them. Do you have Poison Dragon Grass?" Medicine Master asked.

"Sure, it's right here." Song Shuhang pointed to the Poison Dragon Grass next to his computer.

To be honest... Song Shuhang's luck was really not ordinary. Fifty to sixty years ago, the Venerable Spirit Butterfly used Poison Dragon Grass as the main item in an array. If it were any other herb, Medicine Master wouldn't have needed it.

Medicine Master only noticed the purple-black Poison Dragon Grass at this moment. "Interesting, I've been in this room for so long, and I didn't even notice this Poison Dragon Grass!"

You must know that Medicine Master has been dealing with herbs for over five hundred years. Even in the deep mountains and forests, as long as there were spiritual herbs, he could find them with his eyes closed. But this Poison Dragon Grass was right next to Song Shuhang's computer, and he didn't notice it until now.

What is special about this Poison Dragon Grass?

Thinking about this, Medicine Master came to the Poison Dragon Grass and carefully observed it.

He sniffed, pinched, and even tasted a piece of the leaf tip.

"Very good. This Poison Dragon Grass has grown in a place rich in spiritual energy and ghostly energy for fifty to sixty years. It was also used as the main item in an array, which seems to have caused a mutation, giving it some hiding ability. I almost didn't notice it," Medicine Master said with a smile. This quality is exactly what he needed, and the mutation made it even more valuable.

Song Shuhang asked, "Does this Poison Dragon Grass meet your needs?"

"It's exactly what I need... and are you planning to sell this Poison Dragon Grass to me?" Medicine Master looked at Song Shuhang and smiled. "But let me be clear, Poison Dragon Grass is a relatively precious herb, and this one is even more valuable. To give you an example, the two boxes of body-strengthening liquid that Soft Feather gave you are not even one-tenth as valuable as this Poison Dragon Grass. So, are you sure you want to sell it to me?"

"I don't really need it, and besides, if it weren't for the body-strengthening liquid formula you shared in the group for free, I wouldn't have had the chance to truly enter the world of cultivation," Song Shuhang said.

Medicine Master shook his head. "Even without that formula, as long as you stay in the Nine Provinces Number One Group, you will eventually come into contact with the world of cultivation. The value of that formula varies from person to person. For masters like Master Tongxuan and True Monarch Yuyue, who have many disciples, the formula is very valuable. But for you, a solitary cultivator just starting out, the value of the formula is definitely not as high as this Poison Dragon Grass."

Medicine Master carefully picked up the Poison Dragon Grass and then clasped his hands together, making the Poison Dragon Grass disappear.

Song Shuhang curiously asked, "Spatial ring? Storage bag?"

"It's not those precious spatial items. Those involve spatial rules, and a fifty cubic meter storage bag would cost me all my possessions," Medicine Master laughed. "This is just a similar subspace technique, 'One Field of Medicine,' which every alchemist masters. This technique can only be used to transplant herbs, nothing else. Once you reach the Fourth Stage, you can also learn this technique, and it's easy to master."

Song Shuhang nodded, understanding somewhat.

"To be honest, I originally just wanted to find inspiration from you to improve and simplify the body-strengthening liquid. I also planned to teach you basic sword techniques and meditation methods to help you complete the hundred-day foundation building. I didn't expect you to prepare such a great gift for me. Now, I feel embarrassed to teach you those basic techniques and meditation methods," Medicine Master said, taking out his phone and logging into the Nine Provinces Number One Group.

He was not the type to take advantage of juniors. Since Song Shuhang had given him a high-quality Poison Dragon Grass, he planned to give Song Shuhang two slightly more advanced cultivation techniques... at least better than the basic ones he had.
